“Catch-up and surpass the advanced economies” and “five down-to-earth promotes” (i.e. promote the sustainable and healthy development of economy, promote the construction of agricultural modernization, promote the construction of culture, promote the guarantee and improvement of people’s livelihood and promote the overall implementation of strict rules for CPC members)

During his visit to Shaanxi in 2015, Secretary-General Xi Jinping pointed out that “Shaanxi Province is on its stage of catching-up and surpassing the advanced economies”, and so he “hoped that people in Shaanxi should seize upon the historic opportunities to reform, innovate and expand ideas, so that they can do better in comprehensive development and stability, up to the requirements of “five down-to-earth promotes”. “Catching-up and surpassing the advanced economies” is no doubt a new positioning and requirement for the general development in Shaanxi. To “catch-up and surpass the advanced economies” is to focus on the “five down-to-earth promotes”. According to the Notice issued by the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, we are going to concentrate on the “five down-to-earth promotes” and pursue surpass on the basis of developing a sustainable and healthy economy, of constructing modern agriculture with provincial characteristics, of strengthening cultural construction, of guaranteeing and improving people’s livelihood, and of promoting the overall implementation of strict rules for CPC members. The “catch-up and surpass” will be reflected in the promotion of gross quantity, quality and creativity in development.
